A message from Shezad Manjee, Chief Creative Officer at Hakim Sons Films:
"Here at Hakim Sons Films we are proud to announce our partnership with Marcus D. Lopez on his independent film, '3 Ghosts.' We are excited about this new venture and look forward to working with him to produce a full-length motion picture. With more than a decade of experience in the wedding film industry, we are eager to expand our style of filmmaking with Marcus. This has been a five year dream for Marcus, and when he first approached us about partnering on the project, he presented the most well prepared pitch we'd ever seen. I thought, 'How could we not be a part of this project?'
For us, filmmaking is a family tradition that stems back three generations; from a grandfather who sought vision and innovation to a grandson who excels at it. Today, our company has grown into a team of dedicated and passionate cinematographers and creative artists who make it their mission to tell unique stories. Our films evoke style and sincerity to capture our client's most precious moments. We use today's technology and generations of experience to transform your memories into a masterpiece.
We're proud to serve as co-producer for '3 Ghosts' and to provide the cameras, lenses, lighting and audio equipment necessary to complete the project. We're leveraging our friends and fan base to create a chilling, supernatural thriller. Once the film is completed, we'll be eager to enter the finished product in the festival circuit. In years past, films such as these required large production budgets. However with the advances in technology and filmmaking, we are now able to produce high quality works of art without needing the big, Hollywood resources to do so. Without question, the end result will be a labor of love between Marcus and our team. We encourage everyone to help see the project through by sharing the video below with your friends on Facebook & Twitter, or by donating to our Kickstarter page."

Dietary antioxidants shown to reduce oxidative stress in men with prostate cancer
More evidence in favour of dietary antioxidants has been delivered by a recently published American study. With some scientific evidence suggesting that oxidative stress is involved in the development and progression of prostate cancer, scientists in the study investigated the association between antioxidants from diet and supplements and biomarkers of oxidative stress in blood , urine and prostate tissue.
According to the scientists, greater antioxidant intake led to lower urinary 8-isoprostane concentrations.
A 10 % increase in antioxidant intake corresponding to an unadjusted 1.1 % decrease in urinary 8-isoprostane levels. 8-Isoprostane is a marker of the oxidative degradation of lipids.
The participants were men from the North Carolina –Louisiana Prostate Cancer Project. The study was conducted by researchers at the University of Connecticut, Roswell Park Cancer Institute, National Cancer Institute, Louisiana State University Health Sciences Centre, University of North Carolina, University of South Carolina and the University of California in the US.
Nutraingredients.com has an article on the research , which you can read HERE.

Limits on telehealth will stay, CMS says
Medicare will stick with reimbursing only one telehealth visit per month for skilled nursing facility residents, according to a proposed rule from the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services.
The proposed physician fee schedule for 2014 seeks to expand telehealth in other healthcare settings.
Medicare beneficiaries can be covered for one telehealth visit per 30-day period for subsequent skilled nursing facility services under current regulations. The American Telemedicine Association asked CMS to remove this limitation, citing new studies and plans to create a national broadband network dedicated to healthcare.
But the studies cited by the association do not provide persuasive evidence that more frequent telehealth visits would benefit SNF residents, according to CMS.
Telehealth is appropriate for SNF inpatients if it enables "appropriately frequent, medically reasonable and necessary encounters with their admitting practitioner," the proposed rule states.
However, if the current limits are removed, telehealth may be used too frequently, compromising care for "this potentially acute and complex" population.

I'm 16, and on a date. FNL style, we're at Applebee's. We share this (it's still on the menu, 14 years later). I think I'm in love. With the blondie, that is. I reminisce about this for years, eat bar cookies and brownies, but never quite reach that level. Once when I was pregnant with Miles I was served something similar, but that man (the baker and father of a friend's baby) was out of my life soon after as well, recipe never exchanged. I tried to recreate it myself and failed, wasting time and butter and chocolate and precious, precious imported nuts. And then I ran across this recipe.
It seemed too simple. There was no rising agent. Too little salt. Too much sugar. But guess what? It is spot on. Very easy as well, you can make the whole thing in one bowl in minutes, bake for about half an hour and be eating warm blondies in less than an hour. If you want to get fancy, serve it on a sizzling cast iron plate with vanilla ice cream and "maple butter" (I don't even want to try and guess what's in that). I ate them straight out of the pan, but here's what I did to get fancy: the recipe calls for melted butter, but I went a step further and intentionally browned the butter. This technique of heating the butter on the stove top until the solids cook to a deep golden brown is a pretty recent food trend, and something you can do to update a grandmother's cookie recipe to make it relevant. I find it makes the overall flavor caramelly, especially when paired with brown sugar, and even more modern when combined with sea salt. I can't name a single person who would complain about getting served these instead of a Christmas cookie, even without the maple butter.
Brown Butter Blondies (from Smitten Kitchen)
- 1 stick butter
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- pinch salt
- 1 cup flour
- 1/2 cup toasted nuts
- 1/2 bar good dark chocolate, broken into chunks
Note: I doubled the recipe and made a 13×9 in pan. Also, you can skip browning the butter if you're in a hurry, but it really makes a difference.
- Preheat the oven to 350 and prepare a 8×8 square baking pan.
- Place the butter in a sauce pan and melt over medium heat. It will start to bubble. As it starts to foam, lower the heat and watch as the foam turns from yellow to golden to tan and starting to become a bit rusty…remove from the heat and pour into a mixing bowl. Allow to cool slightly.
- Whisk sugar into the cooled butter. Add egg and vanilla, and whisk to combine. Add salt and flour, use a spatula to incorporate without overmixing. Fold in nuts and chopped chocolate.
- Pour into the pan (no need to butter/flour) and bake 25-30 minutes, or until just set in the center. These are best a bit gooey.

The City Commission is scheduled to listen to the first reading of the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year during Tuesday's meeting.
WINTER HAVEN — The City Commission is scheduled to listen to the first reading of the proposed budget for the upcoming fiscal year during Tuesday's meeting.
The $142.64 million budget was slightly amended from the initial budget presented in July. One notable change includes putting off the Lake Silver street project until the 2018-19 fiscal year, which will save the city about $1.2 million this upcoming year. The design phase will still be completed.
The initial budget also did not include any raises for city employees. With the new budget, each will be given a one-time 1 percent bonus based off the total payroll. It will amount in about $445 extra for each city employee.
The largest portions of the budget come from a $43.8 million enterprise fund, which includes water and utilities, and a $41.3 million general fund, which covers general government like parks and public safety.
Cal Bowen, the city's finance services director, said the city has about $8.4 million in general fund reserves, which results in a fund balance of about 20 percent.
Also on the table for Tuesday's meeting is the first reading of the property tax rate, which would remain the same as this fiscal year and the eight prior.
The rate of $5.79 per $1,000 in taxable value means the owner of a home valued at $150,000 would pay $579 in property taxes after $50,000 in homestead exemptions.
The second and final reading of the budget is scheduled for Sept. 25. The new fiscal year begins Oct. 1.
Nora Mayo Hall
On the consent agenda Tuesday night is the fee schedule to rent out Nora Mayo Hall. The cost for the day will be $2,000, plus $50 per hour for staffing. The staffing rate includes two employees.
T. Michael Stavres, assistant city manager, said at a workshop Wednesday that entities, including the Greater Winter Haven Chamber of Commerce, already have inquired about renting the building for events this fall.
After unsuccessfully trying to purchase the building in the past, the City Commission approved a 50-year lease with the Florida Department of Environmental Protection in April.
The cost of the lease to the city is $300 annually.
Time and place
The City Commission normally meets on the second and fourth Monday of the month, but since the Polk County Commission was holding its budget hearing Monday, the city was required by state law to push its meeting back one day. The County Commission meeting has since been postponed to Sept. 18 because of Hurricane Irma.
Tuesday's meeting is to begin at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 451 Third St. NW.

Written By Alan Zeichick And Presented By Charles Leaver
Ransomware is genuine, and is threatening individuals, organisations, schools, medical facilities, local governments – and there's no indication that ransomware is stopping. In fact, it's probably increasing. Why? Let's face it: Ransomware is probably the single most reliable attack that hackers have actually ever developed. Anybody can produce ransomware using readily available tools; any cash received is most likely in untraceable Bitcoin; and if something fails with decrypting somebody's disk drive, the hacker isn't really affected.
A business is impacted by ransomware every forty seconds, according to some sources, and sixty percent of malware issues were ransomware. It strikes all sectors. No industry is safe. And with the increase of RaaS (Ransomware-as-a-Service) it's going to become worse.
The good news: We can fight back. Here's a four-step battle strategy.
Good Basic Hygiene
It starts with training workers how to manage destructive emails. There are falsified messages from service partners. There's phishing and target spearphishing. Some will survive email spam/malware filters; staff members need to be taught not to click on links in those messages, or of course, not to permit for plugins or apps to be set up.
Nevertheless, some malware, like ransomware, will get through, frequently exploiting obsolete software or unpatched systems, just like in the Equifax breach. That's where the next action comes in:
Ensuring that all endpoints are thoroughly patched and totally updated with the current, most safe operating systems, applications, utilities, device drivers, and code libraries. In this way, if there is an attack, the endpoint is healthy, and is able to best eradicate the infection.
Ransomware isn't really an innovation or security problem. It's an organization issue. And it's a lot more than the ransom that is demanded. That's nothing compared with loss of efficiency due to downtime, bad public relations, disgruntled customers if service is interrupted, and the expense of rebuilding lost data. (Which presumes that valuable intellectual property or protected monetary or client health data isn't stolen.).
Exactly what else can you do? Backup, backup, backup, and secure those backups. If you don't have safe, guaranteed backups, you cannot bring back data and core infrastructure in a prompt style. That consists of making everyday snapshots of virtual machines, databases, applications, source code, and configuration files.
Companies need tools to detect, recognize, and avoid malware like ransomware from spreading. This needs constant monitoring and reporting of what's occurring in the environment – consisting of "zero day" attacks that have not been seen prior to this. Part of that is monitoring end points, from the mobile phone to the PC to the server to the cloud, to ensure that all end points are up-to-date and safe and secure, and that no unanticipated modifications have been made to their underlying setup. That way, if a machine is infected by ransomware or other malware, the breach can be detected rapidly, and the machine isolated and closed down pending forensics and recovery. If an end point is breached, quick containment is vital.
The Four Strategies.
Good user training. Updating systems with patches and repairs. Supporting everything as frequently as possible. And utilizing tracking tools to assist both IT and security teams discover issues, and react rapidly to those issues. When it pertains to ransomware, those are the four battle-tested strategies we have to keep our companies safe.
You can learn more about this in a short 8 minute video, where I talk with several industry experts about this concern:

Miss Universe Australia may lose crown after leaked spat with pageant's national directorJune 15th, 2009 - 4:51 pm ICT by ANI
Melbourne, June 15 (ANI): Miss Universe Australia Rachael Finch may loose her crown after details of her row with the pageant's national director were made public.
Finch was said to have sent a letter of complaint in an email to the New York head office of the Miss Universe Organisation, a copy of which has leaked.
It may cost the 20-year-old beauty to be stripped off her title, according to pageant sources.
"Under the (Miss Universe Australia) contract, bringing the brand into disrepute is grounds for instant dismissal," the Daily Telegraph quoted one source as telling the Sunday Mail.
Finch allegedly claimed to have signed an exclusive three-year management contract under immense pressure from Miss Universe Australia National Director Deborah Miller.
And the Queensland model was said to be devastated on learning the email had been made public.
Miller, on the other hand, denied the allegations, saying that she was getting her legal team ready and would investigate the claims before commenting further.
Miss Universe Organisation owner Donald Trump was reportedly engaging his attorneys to look into the matter. (ANI)

Frank Ocean's dad is suing the hitmaker.
In legal papers obtained by TMZ, Calvin Cooksey claims his son defamed him in a Tumblr post last year (16).
The singer accused his dad of using a homophobic slur when he was a kid, writing: "I was 6 years old when I heard my dad call our transgender waitress a f**got as he dragged me out of a neighborhood diner saying we wouldn't be served because she was dirty."
Ocean's dad insists the tale is bogus and he has suffered financially and professionally as a result of the post.
He's suing Frank for $14.5 million (GBP11.6 million) in damages.
Calvin also sued rap mogul and entrepreneur Russell Simmons in 2014 for claiming he was a deadbeat dad.

"I do not expect to be a mother, but I do expect to die alone."
Olek at Tony's Gallery, London
Agata Olek, a Polish born artist who uses crochet to create 3d sculpture, recently held her first UK installation at Tony's Gallery in Shoreditch. The small space was filled with bedroom furniture completely covered in Olek's crochet, complete with floor and walls creating a surreal, bright coloured world. Olek uses snippets from personal emails and SMS messages worked into the crochet surfaces, creating a personal story as you look through the room. Everywhere you can see is covered in this neon bright yarn patterned in her personal camouflage style, which when also combined with the modern colloquial text in the messages decorating the coverings, challenges the traditional concept of crochet and fiber art.
'it is not just another apartment installation; it is the reflection of life, love, trust and lust in current times. it is the progression of
my life as a woman, as a female artist put together through text messages, emails and personal objects and experiences…
blood, sweat and tears and cum camouflaged with the sparkle of my colourful cheeky humour, as we all do when carrying
on with our lives.' -Agata Olek
'I do not expect to be a mother, but I do expect to die alone' finished this week, but there will be more to come from Olek in the future.

The drama series, which starred Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Aldis Hodge and Aisha Hinds, chronicled the lives of a group of slaves who attempted to escape from a Georgia plantation through the Underground Railroad. Legend starred as Frederick Douglass during a special ?Whiteface? episode.
The network?s decision to sever ties from the show comes as a result of Sinclair Media Group?s recent acquisition of WGN?s parent company, Tribune Media. Earlier this month, Some questioned the future of ?Underground? after Sinclair CEO, Chris Ripley cited WGN?s business strategy shifting away from original scripted programming.
On Tuesday, Tribune Media President and CEO Peter Kern thanked Legend and the show?s creators and cast for their contributions to the series? success.
?We are tremendously proud of this landmark series that captured the zeitgeist and made an impact on television in a way never before seen on the medium,?

After three sets of quints in a row, and given Emma's incredible size, I feared the worst. I actually used my birthday wish to ask for an easy delivery of a reasonable number of babies. I was frightened for my precious Emma, especially given what Halo had been through.
Well, she only had three, but they're the three biggest babies I ever saw. I guess I should have been more specific. I am so in love with their mother, I decided to keep both girls. Now, if I could only tell them apart…

Musk and the Simulation Hypothesis
Elon Musk has recently been quoted as mentioning the simulation hypothesis formulated by Nick Bostrom, a professor at Oxford University. Bostrom's hypothesis was published in 2003 and is available online. Nobody knows currently whether we are in a simulation, but the topic of simulation is worthy of discussion from the standpoint of the posthuman possibilities of our species. A serious problem with the hypothesis would seem to be that one needs to be outside, literally, an environment to create a model of it or to be aware that a model exists. When we create models of something, we study it (in the case of science) or design it (in the case of engineering). It (the phenomenon) is separate from us. Phenomena are simulations of themselves by definition. So, to say that "the earth is simulating itself" is reasonable. Simulations tend to strip away all but essential aspects of what is being studied. In the limit, the simulation becomes the phenomenon where nothing is abstracted away. If a posthuman civilization were to create a simulation with a highly-advanced AI (Artificial Intelligence) component, that component has no way of knowing its simulated status because it is part of the simulated system. The intelligent components of a hypothetical simulated environment can look for something odd or peculiar in their world, and then know that they are part of a designed system. With things like quantum mechanics, though, how could things get weirder? And yet quantum behavior is part of our natural world and so does not imply that we are in someone else's simulation. The movie, The Matrix has the right idea in its script of Neo who chooses to ingest the blue pill offered by Morpheus. Only by swallowing this pill will Neo be able to figure out that he is part of a simulation. Unless we can track down the equivalent of Morpheus, I am afraid we'll never know whether or not we are simulated. Speculation along these lines may be no different than engaging in theology.

Lauren's love for sport, health and fitness is what got her interested in yoga in the first instance. In today's world of constant hustle and bustle, the practical application and ethos behind 'season yoga' is something that resonated with her. Seasonal yoga teaches us to work with the world around us, as opposed to against it. The class follows a traditional structure of physical asanas (postures), paranayama (breathing) and meditation (the best bit!) and is suitable for all levels and abilities – no, you don't have to be able to touch your toes or tie yourself in a knot! Benefits to a regular practice are vast and include improved strength, flexibility, body awareness, posture, improved circulation, clarity of mind, reduced stress and anxiety as well as developing the skills to distance ourselves from any negative energy that will at times seep its way into our daily living.
Lauren is working towards a master's degree in Public Health and Health Promotion and currently works full time for Cancer Research UK as the West of Scotland Manager for prevention and early detection. She lives in Larkhall with her two American Bulldogs and enjoys nothing more than indulging in good food (and wine) with family and friends.

Christians can't be partisan, but we no longer can be apolitical. So what can we be?
By Dave Schmelzer
A prefatory note: We have many delightful tasks in the Blue Ocean Faith world! We spend a lot of time putting our heads together about how better to experience the living Jesus and everything he has to offer us. I've been in recent conversations, say, about what we're learning about how kids can grow and thrive in a vibrant, communicative relationship with Jesus for a lifetime. Right at this moment, my wife—joined by other Blue Ocean pastors and leaders—is in India learning from the amazing ministry Asha how they've managed to care for more than half a million of the most at-risk residents of Delhi. Many of our churches will spend this Lent talking about experiencing the Holy Spirit—what have we learned about that over the years; what's gone great; what's worked less well; what new things are we learning? These conversations are so much fun and I'm learning so much and getting to know Jesus more each day. Right now a new area of growth is how to respond to the larger world around us. The current political situation can feel so unprecedented and overwhelming that our brains seem to whir on that quite a bit. For some of you, this won't seem new. You've lived in a world where your political candidates have won and also where they've lost so, as you see it, what's different here—except perhaps for sour grapes if one's candidate lost? If that's your perspective, God bless you! I'm entirely with you in your hopes of knowing and loving Jesus and your neighbor and I'm praying for an awesome life for you. But for most of my Blue Ocean friends, this doesn't seem like business as usual, but like a very different landscape. So, while doing our best not to neglect the many-faceted world of faith, it's true that some percentage of our podcasts and blog posts will continue to ponder this particular question, as does this post. (Which, I should mention, is not in any way a "Blue Ocean" position, which doesn't exist. It's just how I'm pondering things.) If that's helpful to you, keep reading!
I read today that Stephen Colbert has overtaken Jimmy Fallon in the ratings, which seemed unfathomable a year ago, when it was widely regarded that Colbert had had a bumpy transition from his niche Comedy Central show to his mainstream CBS show. Fallon was the golden boy, with his goofy charm, clever bits and inoffensive approach. Perhaps the new presidency has flipped that calculus? Is Fallon increasingly out of touch with what viewers are feeling while the more breezily political Colbert is coming into his own?
Churches are facing a similar challenge. Since the 1980 election, evangelical churches have been reliably Republican while mainline churches have been reliably Democrat. But it became widely known that young evangelicals were fleeing their churches because following Jesus came to be equated to being a neoconservative.[1]
Meanwhile, many churches, like mine, embraced an apolitical perspective—encouraging community engagement, diversity and voting one's conscience while being wary of identifying one's political perspective with God's point of view. Far from being inoffensive, in an evangelical church this was a way of carving out space from evangelicalism's monolithic Republicanism and I'm still very attracted to this perspective.[2] After my conversion from atheism, one of the earliest lessons I was taught in my campus Christian group was that Jesus was not Republican or Democrat or American—that our allegiance, as per Hebrews 11, was to another kingdom, that we were "strangers and sojourners" here on earth, that pledging allegiance to either party was idolatry. I still buy that. Totally down with that to this day.
That said, as Colbert and Fallon are discovering, we seem to have entered into a political reality that's demanding a new approach. Since my conversion, America has had conservative, ideological presidents (Reagan and Bush 2), an establishment Republican president (Bush 1) and two Democrats who infuriated the right (Clinton and Obama). But none of that, in my circles, was enough to shake the wisdom of the apolitical approach, whose churches chugged along unperturbed from administration to administration.
But no more.
Most churches I'm friends with—compelled by the vast Scriptural appeals to welcome the stranger and defend the weak and love their neighbor[3]—have done at least some organizing against Mr. Trump's attempted immigration ban or his executive order against Obamacare or his often-overtly-racist-or-hostile-to-the-agency-they're-being-nominated-to-lead cabinet choices. Does this mean that these churches, in obedience to Jesus, must now become Democrat? Is being apolitical no longer tenable?
Yes, I do think being apolitical is no longer tenable.
But I still resist churches identifying with parties or ideologies, choices that continue to strike me as diminishing the gospel and—as evangelical churches discovered with their young people—as shortsighted.
Instead, I wonder if centered-set, which has been so central to how Blue Ocean Faith has defined itself spiritually, has things to offer us politically during times like ours. More on this in a moment.
In search of a way forward for churches like mine, I've launched into a reading blitz about how we came to this morass. So I've been reading Heather Hendershot's new Open to Debate: How William F. Buckley Put Liberal America on the Firing Line (about the birth of neoconservatism) and Yuval Levin's The Great Debate: Edmund Burke, Thomas Paine, and the Birth of Right and Left (about the origins of American conservatism and liberalism) and Colin Woodard's American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good (you've figured out what it's about), along with the fascinating documentary Best of Enemies (on Netflix as I write this) about the cataclysmic debate between Buckley and his diametrically-opposite-mirror-image, Gore Vidal, at the 1968 Democratic convention.[4]
And I'm learning lots of interesting things. Sam Tanenhaus, in The Death of Conservatism: A Movement and Its Consequences, talks about the two wings of conservatism, the establishment (again: Bush 1, along with Eisenhower and Nixon) and the "revanchist," which tries to recapture a lost, bygone era and regards itself as "right"—and so must attack other Republicans (and of course Democrats) as both wrong and dangerous (again: Reagan, Bush 2 and Republican congresspeople since the mid-90s). He argues that the Democrats don't have similar wings, that this is a Republican thing.[5]
And he argues, with Woodard, that in the end there are only two great political issues that must always live in concert with one another: social responsibility and individual liberty. Today's Democrats tend towards the former while today's Republicans increasingly only embrace the latter.[6] But, say Tanenhaus and Woodard, any responsible political system will embrace the tension that comes with both. The revanchist impulse to wage war on "liberalism" triggers a backlash. If revanchist Republicans rejected everything Obama or the Democrats wanted to do, to keep equilibrium Democrats are now incentivized to reject anything Trump or the Republican congress want to do.
Does centered-set have anything to offer us in this zero-sum, destructive death match?
It seems to me it does, but that it starts at a quiet, perhaps inoffensive space, which is agreeing on the center of our set. For our purposes here, I'll propose what most of these thinkers propose—that our set's center is maintaining both social responsibility and individual liberty. That, when one of these is threatened, addressing that becomes a top priority.[7] A suggestive Bible story along these lines is John 5:1-14, Jesus healing the man at the pool of Bethesda. The man can't heal himself; for that he needs help. But Jesus famously asks him up front, "Do you want to be healed?" Can the man take on the life of being able-bodied? After the healing, Jesus says the next steps are on him: "Pick up your mat and walk."
And a particularly helpful political passage for me has been Jeremiah 29:4-9. It's talking to the Israelite exiles into Babylon. They understandably regard themselves as God's true people (perhaps a parallel to our red states?) and the Babylonians as evil enemies of God (perhaps how red states regard blue states?). Here's God's command to the Israelites via Jeremiah:
4 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says to all those I carried into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 "Build houses and settle down; plant gardens and eat what they produce. 6 Marry and have sons and daughters; find wives for your sons and give your daughters in marriage, so that they too may have sons and daughters. Increase in number there; do not decrease. 7 Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into exile. Pray to the Lord for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper."8 Yes, this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: "Do not let the prophets and diviners among you deceive you. Do not listen to the dreams you encourage them to have.9 They are prophesying lies to you in my name. I have not sent them," declares the Lord. (NIV)
Here's my paraphrase. "Whatever may be the case about your spiritual superiority to the Babylonians, the fact is that you have common interest with them. If Babylon thrives, so do you. So do whatever it takes for everyone—not just the good guys in your camp—to thrive. And pray for the Babylonians the same way you pray for each other. And if ideological purists come along who encourage you to declare war on the godless bad guys, don't listen to them! They're not speaking for me!" Here at least, God is centered-set in the way we're talking about here.
So, to summarize, here's what strikes me as useful about this centered-set political perspective.
- It makes our political allegiances situational.
When a party or candidate runs, as we've seen recently, on a platform of marginalizing groups of people, our mandate is clear; we protest and resist and make our voices heard. On this theory, this isn't "liberal" or "Democrat," it's centered-set; it's keeping our eye on the heart of our mutual mission; it's loving our neighbor. On the other hand, if, Soviet-style, the state becomes more and more tyrannical and powerful, the opposite choice is equally clear.[8]
2. It makes our politics pragmatic rather than ideological.
Ideologues, as in Jeremiah 29, are the enemies both of thriving faith in Jesus and, it seems to me, of a thriving world. Ideologues are the Lenins and Robespierres and Limbaughs and Breitbarts of the world. From either the left or the right, they can offer a powerful critique, but only a totalitarian rule. Savonarola could argue for a "pure religion," but getting it required him burning a lot of people at the stake, which alloyed his spiritual helpfulness. Revanchism, as Tanenhaus talks about, doesn't help us rally around a just and thriving society—instead it goes heavy bounded-set. It loudly argues for who are the saved and who are the damned and—against God's commands in Jeremiah 29—encourages all-out war. By definition ideologues require leaving behind one of the twin pillars of the center of our set—again, social responsibility and individual liberty—while villainizing all who continue to believe in the left-behind value.
3. In its pragmatism, it heavily values evidence.
If we agree on the center of our set, it becomes in all of our interests to figure out if we're making progress towards the center or not. With ideologues, evidence is actually unhelpful—what gets measured instead is ideological passion. Robespierre didn't care if his policies were making for a more just and thriving France; he wanted to know if you were a hundred percent on board with his extremism.
So is what I'm calling a centered-set approach the same as being a centrist, as being an establishment Democrat or Republican? The question makes sense. Centrists do, in theory, keep an eye on the two central pillars of our proposed center; it's radicals on either side that argue for one and demonize the other.
But I don't think so. This might, for instance, call for extreme protest and resistance at times—perhaps times like these. Protest and resistance are not the bread and butter of a centrist.
There are other ways to look at this perspective than by the lens of centered-set. For instance, decades back, I was taught the decision-making tool of "O.A.R.", which stands for "Objectives. Actions. Risks." The insight here was that, when any of us thinks of new things to try, we wrongly start with actions. "Maybe my business would do better if I ponied up for TV advertising." But this skips the key step of first identifying our objectives. Why do we want our business to grow? Are there some sorts of growth we'd like, but other types that would cause us problems? And it also undersells considering risks. What is our downside risk if the advertising doesn't work? Or is there risk even if it does?
O.A.R. might look at this political perspective this way. Unless we're extremists, "liberalism" and "conservatism" are both actions, not objectives. For the non-extremist, our objective is "to marry social responsibility and individual liberty." Or it's at the very least "to have a thriving country in which both we and our children and grandchildren will benefit." At a given moment, our best action to accomplish that objective might be a conservative one, while at other points it would be a liberal one. It depends. The only way a political allegiance can be our objective is if we live at the fringes and make our objective something like "to create the perfect Soviet collective" or "to keep government off our backs as we live off the land."
I'm by no means pitching that centered-set politics is a political winner. Clearly a lot of history argues that playing to ideological passions and demonizing outsiders can go a long way. But I am pitching that this is a way of being faithful to Jesus in the political realm that works for me.
It keeps alive the ideal taught to me in my early Christian days; it keeps Jesus from being a Republican or a Democrat. It doesn't alloy our love of and loyalty to Jesus by making that love—as young evangelicals discovered—a political cover. It allows that Jesus, being alive, can speak to us in our political moment—that we're not removed from needing his living guidance because we've decided that our political ideology will do the guiding for us. It helps us keep our eye on our responsibility to love our neighbor even as it allows our love for God to thrive on its own terms.
I still grieve my apoliticality! It seemed so bold and needed at one point. But perhaps it was always meant to be a way station to the richer world of centered-set. And these days Colbert does seem more on point than does the always-charming Fallon.
[1] Perhaps this is also—in reverse—a key reason that mainline churches continue to shrink in numbers.
[2] I continue to be a registered independent, as I've been for decades.
[3] It's pervasive. So in terms of immigrants we might go to, like, Deuteronomy 10: 19: "You shall love the stranger, for you were once strangers in the land of Egypt." Or we can go New Testament with Hebrews 13: 1: "Let mutual love continue. Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers for by doing that some have entertained angels without knowing it." Or we can go Jesus with Matthew 25: 35: "I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me." In terms of marginalized groups, there's the obvious use of Mark 12:28-31: "One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, 'Of all the commandments, which is the most important?' 'The most important one,' answered Jesus, 'is this: "Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." The second is this: "Love your neighbor as yourself." There is no commandment greater than these.'"
[4] The Guardian, summarizing the climactic heart of the documentary, describes it this way: As part of ABC's coverage of the police "blue riot" that ensued in Chicago – batons cracking student skulls – Vidal calls Buckley a "crypto-Nazi" for justifying the brutality, to which Buckley snaps: "Listen to me you queer, stop calling me a crypto-Nazi or I'll sock you in the goddamn face and you'll stay plastered." On live TV. That led to decades of lawsuits and counter-lawsuits between the two. The documentarians present it as the only example of Buckley losing his cool to that degree, as something he was ashamed of until his death (despite his never-flagging loathing of Vidal) and as a picture of how the neoconservative instinct was in response to a sense of threat to a bygone era.
[5] Buckley was perhaps the most important revanchist, the one who made the other ones possible. He used ridicule married to erudition to go after centrists like Eisenhower.
[6] Woodard among others points out that the meanings of "Republican" and "Democrat" have entirely flipped since 1930.
[7] I'm particularly grooving on Woodard these days. He compellingly argues that if we don't keep these two in balance, tyranny happens—either from the state or from the oligarchs. He points to the French and Russian Revolutions. Without this balance, democracy itself doesn't work, as we see in Hamas's democratic Gaza or Milosevic's democratic Serbia. He quotes former George W. Bush speechwriter Michael Gerson: "Responsible, self-governing citizens do not grow wild like blackberries, which is why a conservative political philosophy cannot be reduced to untrammeled libertarianism. Citizens are cultivated by institutions and families, religious communities, neighborhoods and nations."
[8] And this is not just hypothetical. In recent years, I've at times been a regular listener to Slate's Political Gabfest podcast. It leans left, but a noteworthy theme throughout the Obama administration was David Plotz's warnings against Obama's increasing use of executive authority. On the one hand, the podcasters were sympathetic—if congress refused to work with the executive branch, that left unilateral executive authority as the only option for governing, and the podcasters were usually sympathetic to Obama's goals. But Plotz in particular was dire in his assessment of this path, saying that what worked in one's favor in one administration would work against one in the next. An ever-growing accumulation of power in the presidency was something—said Plotz—that we'd come to regret.
